Hanover Business and Industry
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Dartmouth College are the main employers in the Hanover area, with 6,211 people employed by DHMC and 3,200 working for the College. The Hanover area can claim Business New Hampshire magazine’s 2006 top three large companies to work for in Stryker Biotech (a leading, worldwide, medical products and services company), Hanover-headquartered Hypertherm, Inc., (the world leader in plasma cutting technology), Tele Atlas (a leader in digital mapping and other geographic data) whose American headquarters is in Lebanon, and Fluent, Inc, (a computational fluid dynamic software development company) which employs 1400 staff worldwide. Dartmouth Printing Company has a work force of 242 people, and Trumbull-Nelson Construction employs 120.
In addition to the hospital and college, retail, professional, healthcare, accommodations and food service are main industries in the Hanover area where an estimated one out of every three employees walk to work. A whopping 96.6 percent of the work force over 25 years old have at least a high school degree, 77.7 percent have a bachelor’s degree or more and 42.6 percent have graduate or professional degrees.
Downtown Hanover has seen carefully considered changes while retaining handsome older buildings. Hanover Park on Lebanon Street combines dining and retail stores within an elegant brick facade. New construction in recent years has been the result of a coordinated effort by the town and the college to add retail, office, and residential space that complements the unique character of the town.
On the outskirts of town, Centerra Resource Park—a business park and marketplace—is a growing development on Route 120. Its location near Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and minutes to both Hanover and Lebanon downtowns make it a premier location for commercial businesses and light industry.
